SoftpediaAndrei DobraFeb 20169/10Cobalt is an instant classic for side-scrolling brawlers. The combat is varied and addictive, the mechanics sufficiently complex to satisfy dedicated players, and the competitive modes can entertain all sorts of fans. Throw in the pretty fun story mode as well as the support for the Steam Workshop, through which players can devise their own maps, and you have a great investment.

EurogamerChristian DonlanFeb 2016Generous and surprising, Cobalt's also blessed with central mechanics that are a joy to master.

Metro GameCentralFeb 20168/10A boldly inventive 2D shooter that asks a lot of its players but rewards them with one of the most versatile action games of recent months.

DestructoidDarren NakamuraFeb 20164/10The multiplayer is fine if you can find people to play with, but it doesn't save the experience. If this shipped without a campaign, it might have benefited from it, but as it is now, even the good part will probably be forgotten soon enough.

IGNJared PettyFeb 20164.5/10There's a pretty good game buried somewhere inside Cobalt, obscured by layers of poor balancing and technical glitches. The energetic combat and fun weapons make multiplayer a neat pick-up-and-play experience, but the bungled and buggy story mode just doesn't cut it. Cobalt left me feeling blue.
